Worked out with an old friend today. We pushed eachother. I gave him some of my supplements to try and he said he had a great workout too. He would jump onto the dip bars, and I would say "You cant do 20 of those, you wimp!" -edited for content. It was a very productive and energetic session.

My deadlifts went up by 10lbs this week. If that's the energy from the supplements then I am happy. Whatever makes me lift more will induce more growth. I'm definately going to be sore tomorrow!

The darn holiday threw me for a loop and I missed my leg day. I might just throw in some squats tomorrow and work for 4 days straight to make up for the long (albeit relaxing) weekend I had.

I've found myself really enjoying this day. I've been focusing on the 'more bang for your buck' exercises, such as the rows and bench press, and less on the arm work. I'm a beleiver in "if you build strength, muscle mass will come."

The GM/WF combination has been aiding in recovery. I felt good all weekend and I'm looking forward to squats tomorrow. Today I went up about 10lbs in my bench press without losing any reps. I also felt like I could've added weight onto my rows but I feel my reps would have gone down so that is my goal for next week.

My "GVT" today for legs went well. I was damn tired though, I've been working long hours and waking up early. But the WF, like always, got me charged up even when I felt like sleeping instead.

My 8RM went up by 20lbs since the last time I squatted, which was about a week and a half ago. That is great news for me considering I was tired today. If you ever get stuck with an exercise, drop it from your routine for a week and when you pick it up you'll be stronger at it!

I had a little bit of an upset stomach today after taking a heaping scoop of Green MAG in water on an empty stomach. I think I'm going to do half scoop pre, half scoop post to avoid discomfort from the magnesium. I have a iced tea flavored protein shake post workout so mixing the GM in makes it taste good.

I forgot to mention something about my squats yesterday. The last time I did squats I did them shoulder width stance. That really burns my quads. Yesterday however, I did them with a wide stance, targeted my glutes and hammys more, and supposedly release more gH and test.

Of course, this conflicted with my deadlifts. I felt I was using my upper body more because my legs were a little weak. But I did my deads today with bare feet, and it actually made alot of diffference in my form I think (positive difference.)

Holy DOMs batman. Doing the half scoop GM worked well today, I still had the same energy and intensity as always. I have a feeling I will have an awesome soreness going tomorrow.

I haven't felt the White FLOOD taper yet. I still feel very energetic and strong when I take it. It helps that I only take it 3-4 times per week. IT gives my body time to 'rest' from it.

I had a nice workout today. I had lots of strength and energy. I went up in reps on almost everything. Even if it was a minor 2.5lbs on each side of the bar (for a total of 5lbs), I've been steadily making gains so far in this cycle.

A PR is a PR so I would still be proud of it especially if you added reps as well!

I went heavy with the squats today, and combined them and deadlifts to fatigue the hell out of me. It was a really productive workout. See, I don't lift every day, but the days I do take off I really need because of workouts like this. Luckily I had my Controlled Labs one-two combo to keep the pace. I tell you this, if you haven't combined squats and deadlifts together in the same workout, you should try it. It's a great way to target your core, legs, hammys and back all at once. If I were given one day per week to lift, you better beleive that day would include these two exercises! So today was my "heavy" day and I was did my 1RM on the deadlift - 285lbs. That is way more than I've ever did. I was warmed up from the squats, yeah, but damn. I didn't expect the 1RM to be that high (I havent done it in about a month).

After my workout, I fell asleep for 2 hours. That's when you know you dipped into your 'potential'.

I used a slower tempo today, and focused on the contraction and burn. I also went beyond failure on the rows and presses. The workout went well and the supplements like always are holding their integrity. Strength and endurance are both increasing.

Things have been busy lately , I'm working on a project at work , getting our machines back up to brand new status (lots of maintenence.)

I've been doing alot of cardio lately, spinning a few days a week. I find it's helping my definition and vascularity. Combined with these workouts and CONTROLLED LABS products + diet, I'm seeing a dramatic change in body comp. I seem to be getting leaner but not changing bodyweight. Therefor I am burning fat and adding/maintaining muscle.

Yesterdays workout was very intense, I combined the DL and squats into one workout. I recommend doing these 'bang for your buck' exercises, squats and deadlifts, if you have limited time on your hands. Since I am working two jobs, I make up for it with intensity. You can easily lift weights twice a week and make signifigant gains if you know how to set your workouts up.

Deadlifts went up again. I was adding plates and still banging out more reps. I think I went up a total of 10lbs since last week, with my reps staying at 5. Pretty surprised at my progress lately.

Thoughts
I had a really good workout today because I took 2 days off. I pushed myself pretty hard and managed a PR on the rows and bench press. However my overhead press is lagging. I think I'm going to back off on the weight for a week or two. I also think doing my bench press before tires out my 'push' muscle groups.

Green MAG has been working excellent and I have an unopened bottle of Orange TRIad I want to try after my Ecogreen is gone.

I've been doing alot of cardio and boxing lately, my weight is down about 3 lbs today from last week (weighed in at 159 today.)

Are you doing any specific diet? Hope all is going good at work. We have been swamped as well.

Great question DDawg. Actually I hate to admit but I'm sloppy at the diet. I just dont have the time or patience to keep track of it right now, LOL.

See, when I bulk I have to eat constantly, and I've been busy at work so I can't eat very often during the day. When it's slow, I can sit and pig out, but I've been running around. When I do eat, I try to get at least 50g of protein per sitting (even if I drink a shake with a meal), and I try to eat clean, low fat meals (for health reasons.)

Basically, I have two styles of eating. Eating till I'm full, when I can. Or eating constantly, huge meals (bulking.)

Right now I'm doing more of a cut / recomp, but because I'm boxing, lifting and supplementing with Controlled Labs (but not doing a caloric cut) my gains have been very good. I'm leaning out, keeping my muscle (maybe even adding), becoming more vascular and getting my endurance / wind / cardio improved.
